Originally from Russia, Yulia fell in love with
France many years ago. In 2003, she decided
to come and settle in the land of fashion, after
having finished her studies in one of the most
famous universities in Moscow.
While developing her activity as stylist, this
very elegant lady launched her own web
agency and oversaw the artistic management
of several of her clients.
Visibly this was not enough to tire this dynamic working girl, who then became personal
shopper and personal stylist for a high-end
clientele of women and men.

Always aware of the latest trends, Yulia Moatti
knows how to transform a shopping spree into
highly pleasurable moments. According to your
budget, your style and your wishes, she will find
the items that will highlight your personality.
Also, Yulia works in partnership with a certain
number of shops, concept stores and designers on the French Riviera, as well as in Paris,
Milan and Moscow.
With her agency, she advises labels wishing to
be launched or in search of a branding
strategy… Truly polyvalent.

Based in Monaco but founded in Milan by Davide
Jais in 2014, the company Coast society dresses
“contemporary nomades”, especially those who
enjoy a quick dip in the Mediterranean before
tanning on the warm sand. swimwear for men
and children, shirts, polos, espadrilles,
sunglasses, beach towels: each article bears a
very italian stamp. after having triumphed in
department stores all over the world, Coast
society is dropping anchor in saint-Tropez this
summer between the Place des Lices and the
harbour. Great news for all the elegant men of
the resort…

“ No future without innovation”. Loyal to its
motto, the famous swiss watchmaker has just
opened a new store in Cannes, immediately recognisable by its azure blue frontage. While the
one in saint-Tropez has recently been renovated.
in both these shops, Hublot has wished to pay
tribute to the Mediterranean and the sea environment. Two select addresses to showcase the
brand’s emblematic models such as Big Bang,
Classic Fusion, spirit of Big Bang, Manufacture
Piece and the more recent Techrame.

at the beginning of the year, Omega arrived in
the Principality. Nestling in the heart of the Monaco Casino, this 80 sqm store boasts an original
decor around the theme of the four key
elements: sun, water, earth and, of course, time,
represented by razor rain. Luxury watch enthusiasts will be able to find the iconic models
alongside the latest Master Chronometer
collections, such as the Globemaster and seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black.

“To embody what one is with sensitivity, simplicity and authenticity. To feel good here and everywhere”. such was Domitille and angélique
Brion’s idea when they founded the women’s
ready-to-wear label soeur in 2008 in Paris. Their
chic, timeless and intergenerational articles can
now be found in a store recently opened in
Cannes, rue d’antibes. With great delicacy, soeur
takes its inspiration from childhood memories,
journeys, and cleverly revisits emblematic items
of men’s clothing.

at the end of February, audrey and isabel opened their business within metres of the Niçois
“Petit Marais”. Deeply inspired by Japanese culture and its minimalism, the two friends wish to
pay tribute to “modern and self-confident”
women. in their store, you’ll find select labels
such as Christian Wijnants, ilaria Nistri and Gauchère Paris alongside Opening Ceremony and the
american brand M.i.h Jeans. Hattori sees
itself as a creative “laboratory”, staging
temporary exhibitions, opening evenings and
other events dedicated to design and art of all

After over a century of history, the Cannes
Galeries Lafayette celebrated a highly emotional inauguration between 18 and 21 May 2017.
Not only did the store reveal its new concept
but also it celebrated, in partnership with the
Cannes Town Hall, the 70 years of the Cannes
Film Festival. Between fashion and cinema, the
programme paid elegant tribute to this establishment, so closely linked to the Croisette.
The highlight of the occasion was undoubtedly
the unveiling of the new store, entirely reinvented, lively, truly connected to the city and its
heritage. The concept focuses on the client
experience: a welcoming space bathed in light,
furniture designed in a vintage style and high
quality materials, a harmonious visual identity
within the different spaces and new brands to
discover over the different floors. One major
innovation has made its entry: digital leather
ware. A unique experience to be discovered in
avant-première in Cannes.

Starred sapphires, demantoid garnets, rubellite
tourmaline… Didier Frediani could speak for
hours about these stones that never cease to
amaze him.
To find the finest, he has been travelling to Asia,
Africa and Latin America for the last thirty
years. All jewellers’ in France know his name.
And for good reason: he supplies 1,800 of them.

Graduated in gemmology , Didier has his shop
in Rue Defly, away from the glitzy
Golden Triangle, where he is delighted to pass
on his knowledge to arouse curiosity and emotions.
“A stone isn’t sold, it’s bought”, he often says.
When a visitor is finally charmed by a specific
stone, Martine and Adeline, the two designers
who have worked with Didier for many years,
then make a sketch and later a model before
giving life to a dream piece of jewellery.
The workshop, with its timeless tools, is opens
out into the shop. It would be difficult to be
more authentic. Whether for a small pendant
set on a silk thread, sold for a few euros, or for
an exceptional ring, the care and meticulous
craftsmanship are exactly the same… And that
is priceless!

Last autumn, France and Olivier, interior architects at the Bleu Gris agency, launched into a
new adventure. in avenue Foch in Nice, they
opened Cobalt, an interior decoration and small
furniture store. With its very trendy ali Baba’s
cave style decor, it showcases quirky and original
objects (luminaries, candles, stools, chairs, neon
letters and tablette covers). “it’s simple, we only
sell what we like. and we try to propose objects
in exclusivity”, states Olivier.

been accomplished by the Oceanco shipyard
to give the yacht its extremely refined hull
shape, fully adapted to the variety of hybrid

Alongside its very sleek lines, the architects
also managed to design four decks, each one
dedicated to a specific use. Each one has large
window panels for constant contact with the
sea and natural light.
The lower deck, with its two terraces on the
sea level, offers a vast space devoted to wellness with a sauna, beauty salon, massage area
and fitness room opening out on to the terraces.
The four double guests’ cabins are placed in
the central part of this deck, the area to the
fore being reserved for the crew and technical

rooms.
The upper deck, entirely for the owner’s use,
has a panoramic view to the front from the
suite and private access to a terrace and pool.
At the rear of this deck, the owner has a
private lounge and bar, accessible to guests if
so desired.
The vast space on the foredeck is reserved for
the helicopter, which is parked in a garage
under the deck. The rear of this deck is reserved for relaxation and comprises two VIP
suites and private terraces, a vast lounge with
bar and dining room. Partially sheltered from
the sun, the rear area has an outdoor lounge
with an infinity pool and direct access to the
sea.
Under the upper deck, a gangway is reserved
for the captain, and to the rear is a outdoor
lounge fitted with a jacuzzi.
Both unpretentious and spectacular, Spectrum
will certainly turn heads when it is officially
launched. The world of super yachts is entering a new era.

During the 13th edition of the Singapore yacht Show, the Sanlorenzo 460 Exp Moka was awarded the prize for the best yacht in
the ExPLORER category, ahead of the reputed shipyards Abeking&Rasmussen, Cantiere delle Marche and Horizon yachts. The
SL 460 Exp is a 42-metre 460 t displacement super yacht, whose
design and conception take inspiration from exploration ships
which can access, comfortably and safely, the most remote
regions of the world thanks to its great autonomy. Five SL 460
Exp have been sold since being launched in 2015.

The Turkish shipyard Numarine has just delivered its second 105
HT to an Asian shipowner. This shipyard, reputed for the quality
of its state-of-the-art construction, has rapidly expanded on the
European and USA markets with its original, luxury yachts of recognised seafaring qualities. The 105 HT is a sporty 30 metre yacht
with large living spaces outdoors and indoors, capable of reaching
31 knots thanks to 2 CAT 1400 kW engines.

For 30 years, Pershing has produced timeless yachts. Two of the
most emblematic, the 82 vHP and the 74, have both undergone
improvements in all areas, exterior design, fittings and decoration
so as to continue their appeal. The excellent performances are still
present as can be seen with the 74 whose top speed is 44 knots,
and the very High Performance 82 reaching the 50 knot limit, and
cruise speed of 45 knots.

1-PERSHING 140
Deux ans après sa présentation, ce projet va voir le jour en 2018.
Ferretti Group a annoncé la vente du Pershing 140, premier yacht
construit en aluminium par ce chantier. Ce yacht de 42 m a séduit
son propriétaire par ses lignes sportives, ses performances qui ont
fait la renommée de Pershing et les diverses innovations présentes
à bord. Le premier de cette lignée sera motorisé par quatre Mtu
M94 de 2600hp capables de propulser ce yacht à 38nds grâce aux
hydrojets.
Two years after being presented, this project will see the light of
day in 2018. Ferretti group has announced the sale of the Pershing
140, its first aluminium yacht. The 42-metre yacht appealed to its
owner for its sporty lines, its high performance, which has built
the reputation of Pershing, and the various innovations on board.
The first in this series will be powered by four 2,600 hp Mtu M94,
capable of speeds of 38 knots thanks to hydro-jets.

Since 2006, the design office of the Dutch shipyard Feadship has
initiated a reflection process on the future of this sector, in partnership with current and future owners, in order to define their
aspirations. The project presented at the Monaco Boat Show, called 2016 FFC, focused on the principal issues, with notably the
possibility of detachable aft areas to become separate living annexes, the presence of a drone for two persons on board, a beach
house detachable from the mother-ship… many points revealing
a greater need of independence.

The Dutch shipyard vanquish yachts has stood out for several
years for the quality of craftsmanship for its retro-style speed
boats. These convertible boats symbolise luxury and elegance,
and the middle of the range vQ 48 (15m) is the perfect example
of customisation that vanquish can achieve. The aluminium hull
was designed to offer extreme comfort at sea for speed enthusiasts. The most powerful version will enable them to exceed 50
knots.

Runabouts are often inspired by tourism cars, and the most prestigious car manufacturers are often attracted by the yachting
world. The British company Aston Martin is no exception and is
presenting a luxury runabout reproducing the luxury and refinement of its cars. The Quintessence yachts builder has created this
masterpiece using very sophisticated materials. Depending on
the motor, the AM 37 can glide across the water at over 50 knots
in superb luxury and comfort… Just so British.

L’HOSPITALITÉ DE LA FAMILLE BROTHIER
THE ARTISTIC HOSPITALITY OF THE BROTHIER FAMILY

We love the Brothier family restaurant-hotel-art gallery founded in
1952 by Dédé and his wife Mimi. At 83, she is still in the kitchen to
keep an eye on things and cut up the little violet artichokes for her
delicious salad with creamed tarragon. The dishes she creates are an
ode to Provence and Nice: soupe au pistou, “plain” raviolis, stuffed
courgette flowers, small Provençal pâtés, rabbit with olives, breaded
sardines… and the real salade Niçoise. For desserts, the figs in cooked
wine and cinnamon are divine. In the dining room of the 15th century
family house, her sons Jean-Marc and Jean-François with his wife Catherine perpetuate the family atmosphere with stories of the past
when Picasso, Chagall, Yves Montand and Fernand Léger came to
taste Dédé’s hospitality. Having become a collector of his artist
friends’ works (Vasarely, Léger, Hans Hedberg, Braque, César, Sagasta…), today Dédé exhibits them in the basement. It was in room 9
of this small hotel totalling 12 rooms that Arthur London wrote his
“Aveu” and Lolita was translated into French by Eric Kadrane.

The iconic sandy beach on the Cap d’Antibes, in the superb Garoupe
bay, is run by the Benison family: Victor, Dany and their children Philippe
and Laura, who manage a chic beach “La Plage Keller”, and fine restaurant, “Le César”, so named in tribute to Dany’s father, the founding patriarch of the famous Nice restaurant “L’Univers”, and who passed down
his passion for the profession to all his children and grandchildren. The
menu has a wide choice of Grand Crus and exceptional produce wonderfully prepared by the chef: salt crusted sea-bass, king crab, the famous flambéed fresh “César” spaghetti, accompanied by crispy pissaladière and delicious bread by the Antibes artisan baker Jean-Paul
Véziano. When Victor and Dany bought the beach 30 years ago, it was
little frequented after dusk, and they worked their heart and soul out
to turn their gem into a welcoming venue for a regular clientele of oligarchs and stars on holiday: George Clooney and Gwyneth Paltrow recently dined here. For lovers of Asian food, the adjacent “Joseph”
beach, also run by the family, serves delicious sushis, woks and spring
rolls. A car service is available and for yachters, the staff will will come
and pick you up directly from your boat. The beach can also be rented
for private occasions, for a unique moment that will remain unforgettable.

Danny Bos
CRÉATEURS HORS DU COMMUN
UNCOMMON CREATORS

D

In his magnificent store that dates back to 1988, Danny Bos proposes
a collection of over 3000 original designer glasses frames that he
finds in workshops and prestigious trade fairs across the entire world,
in Berlin, Tokyo, Paris and Milan. Among the designers that will sublime
your look, as well as the latest creations by the premier brands in
luxury glasses, you’ll find: the sensual minimalism of Masahiro
Maruyama, the iconic Blake Kuwahara, known for his state-of-the-art
production techniques, the Russian surrealist brand Fakbyfak, the
daring Swede Anna-Karin Karlsson, much loved by Paris Hilton, the
New York brand Gamine whose round-shaped collections are artisan
made in Italy, Kuboraum, a Berlin brand that highlights the character
of each wearer, the extremely rare brand in France, Regard. Danny
Bos is certain that the new approach of these designers, contrary to
standardisation, will turn your eyes into a true work of art.

Jean Botticini, a classically-trained pianist, decided to follow in the
footsteps of his mother, who had been the owner of the former
“Pension Victoria” in Cap d’Ail, before running the “Edmond’s” hotel and
brasserie. After taking over the helm of the hotel, in 1981 he opened
“Réserve de la Mala”, and in 1998 “Le Cabanon”, a restaurant in the heart
of the “Pointe des Douaniers”, a unique site with an exceptional view
over Monaco. The decoration is that of an old fisherman’s cottage, full
of objects that he came across himself, and he has created a boules
pitch to conjure up the images of the south: a pastis, a game of
“pétanque” while breathing in the salty Mediterranean air and the delicious smells of grilled wild fish coming from the summer kitchen. Local
Mediterranean dishes are served in rustic crockery, and are created by
the chef Jean-Marc Troussard, who trained under the greatest
Michelin-starred chefs of the region: Mediterranean rockfish soup,
“bourride de palangrottes”, “daubasse d’A Qui”, “bagnat cauda with
anchoïade”, artisan-made raviolis with jus de daube… and for dessert,
vanilla milk rice pudding with pear cooked in wine, or delicious clafoutis
with mulberries picked directly from the mulberry tree in the garden.
And you’ll leave chanting the house slogan: “Qü manga ben caga ben”!

Passionate about artisanat by artists having lived on the Riviera, Didier
Calvo has constituted collections of works by some of the greatest and
compares the smallest details to identify those that remain steeped in
their mystery. In his superb gallery cum office, Didier Calvo is surrounded by amazing pieces! In his small lounge with black and white motifs
by the Nice graphic designer Skio, we can see guitars signed by the
Rolling Stones, a Swedish buffet from the 1960s decorated by ceramics
by Cocteau, a large souvenir picture of Gianni Versace created during
the opening of his store in New York, a sublime black and white vase
by Picasso, photos of the Serge Lifar collection of the Ballets de
Monaco, and, you won’t believe your eyes, a superb 28 ceramic fresco
by Cocteau, framed and hung in the style of the Picasso museum in
Antibes. The gallerist and lover of pottery, ceramics and sculptures
created by renowned artists, painstakingly searches for emblematic
works of art that he finds for museums and private collectors. “What
motivated me was my encounter with the potter chosen by Picasso to
reproduce works that he had created at the Madoura atelier, Yvan
Oreggian. This was my first encounter with Picasso’s world and
ceramics. Later, I discovered Cocteau’s ceramics thanks to the link he
had with Picasso when making the costumes of Parade. Today, my work
is one of research and building collections. Based on one or two
ceramics, I research those that he made”. Long-winded investigations
filled with passion and steeped in history!

Since 1992, the Turin-born Laura Merlo has achieved the perfect combination of a warm welcome, warm authentic-chic trattoria ambience
and fresh local produce prepared with generosity and excellence, “just like
at home in Italy”: home-made antipasti, superb charcuterie (pancetta,
coppa, saucisson from Puglia…), creamy burrata, truffle raviolini,
paghetti alla chitarra (tomatoes, buffala and anchovies), pasta alle
vongole and dishes of the day, all served in a café ambience with
wooden bar, vintage ceramic floor tiles and Berkel ham slicer. We can
see why locals, festival goers and stars just love the place and its
wonderful tiramisu! The wine list gives pride of place to the best Italian
wines, i cluding Lodaï de la Tenuta Fertuna in Maremma… You can
already feel the summer holidays in the air!

With his mismatched Converse shoes, his different styled socks, in his
immaculate gallery whose walls exhibit dynamic works by Miguel
Paredes, Marc Francl sits behind his computer.
Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a wonderful smile! You automatically feel that this original gallerist loves discussion. “Colourful Converse
shoes is always conducive to contact. Kids point at them and make
them laugh. It fills my days with happiness. I have had them customised
by artists, including Miguel Paredes. They all make them for me!”
Marc Francl is an antiques dealer and art collector since the age of
seventeen: “At that age, I even invested my entire salary in a work by
Gérard Schlœsser!”. He opened his new gallery in Cannes last year
where he exhibits artists that move him, stir emotions in him. “I got in
touch with artists from all horizons. It’s important to be surrounded by
artists of every train of thought, it makes us grow up and think. My
collection is managed between the store house and my gallery. I also
have an extensive art library”.
Marc Francl explains wonderfully the works of art he exhibits. If you’re
not tempted by Urban Art, come and have a look anyway. You’ll understand the messages and will even be tempted to buy something you’d
never dreamed of! “I would have liked to be an artist, but through the
people I exhibit, I can express myself. I never exhibit commercial artists
but those for whom I have a deep feeling”. Luck smiles at those who
dare! After the exhibition dedicated to Miguel Paredes, you can see the
poignant portraits by Yannick Fournié, of the Nouvelle Figuration, and
Ikon, a Street Artist who works with Agnès b.

At the head of “Giraudi Group”, created by his father Erminio in 1968,
one of the European leaders in trading and meat import-export, and
the first and leading importer of certified Japanese Kobe beef to
Europe, Riccardo Giraudi has created, over the space of ten years, an
empire in luxury catering which has established new precedents.
Firstly, in Monaco where he has excelled in the art of surprising his
very selective clientele with the creation of seven exciting concepts:
“Mozza” the Italian, “La Salière”, the gourmet Chinese “Song Qi”, and
his version of fast food “Indochine”, the Mediterranean Japanese
“Moshi Moshi”, “Grubers” for chic burgers, and above all “Beefbar”,
the specialist of excellent meat on the Riviera, with its “Grand Cru”
cuts of Australian Black Angus and Midwest American beef, Angus
from Argentina, and the famous sublimely cooked Kobe beef.
Riccardo has also just developed a little corner butcher shop
“The Beefbar Butcher Shop”, designed by the architecture company
Humbert & Poyet, responsible for the layout of all the restaurants. This
Italian, passionate about Monaco, thrives on creating ideas and
spends his time taking planes between his different businesses and
discovering new places for future concepts in the most fashionable
places on the planet. The “Beefbar” is already present in Cannes, in
Hong Kong, where he has a star in the Michelin guide, in Mexico and
Mykonos.

Since reopening last year after several years of refurbishment, Eric
Gorjux has been at the helm of the famous Italian restaurant
“Rampoldi”. The Monegasque institution celebrated its 70th anniversary last December with the presence of Prince Albert II, and continues
to be one of the favourite restaurants for Monegasques: luxury while
remaining warm and homely. Eric Gorjux ensures an impeccable and
delicate service, orchestrated by the young chef Antonio Alfredo
Salvatore who delights us with his exquisite “vitello tonnato”, octopus
carpaccio, home-made pasta, braised ox cheek cooked in chianti,
accompanied by a grand cru or a selection of the best Italian wines.
For dessert, the pastry Chef’s profiteroles or his gigantic lemon tart
are out of this world! In the basement, the cigar cellar and lounge is a
favourite venue for stars to spend private and discreet evenings when
staying in Monaco.

Over the last 26 years, the compassionate and bubbly Pépino Mammoliti,
nicknamed “Mamo”, has created a restaurant that is as famous as his
illustrious clients. Starting from scratch and entirely self-taught, Mamo
opened his friendly trattoria, the “Michelangelo”, in a former Domaines
Ott wine cellar, designing it as he remembered his native land of Italy
where the aromas of his grandmother’s slowly cooked dishes combined
with convivial moments. Shortly after opening, the Hotel du Cap-Eden
Roc sent him its star-guests who preferred to stay in the area rather than
going to Monaco. His first table was memorable: Bill Cosby, John Collins,
Kirk Douglas and Roger Moore. Mamo was a bit stressed but his authentic cuisine was loved as of the first mouthful. Since then, his restaurant
has become a favourite haunt for the famous who feel “at home” here.
Magic Johnson even organised his 25th wedding anniversary here, Jay
Z and Beyoncé adore his truffle pizzas. Mamo has even been to theirs in
New-York to cook his speciality “raviolini à la truffe” in the presence of
Madonna and Rihanna. He has become friends with Jean-Paul Belmondo
to whom he serves a birthday cake on each of his visits, just “for a laugh”,
as well as with Georges Clooney, Robert de Niro and Johnny Hallyday,
with whom he shares a crate of fresh fruit after a delicious shoulder of
lamb cooked over a wood fire or a flavoursome vitello tonatto.
Today, his son Mike is at the helm of the New York “Mamo” which is also a
huge success, and of the Parisian version, opened one year ago. But none
of this has made him lose sight of reality… as he says himself: “the stars are
in the sky, the macarons at Ladurée, and the forks are on the tables”.

La Môme
DES JUMEAUX DANS LE CARRÉ D’OR
TWINS IN THE GOLDEN SQUARE

U

Ugo and Antoine Lecorche, 38 year-old twins from Lyon, opened their
restaurant “La Môme” in 2015, in the heart of Cannes, in tribute to
La Môme Moineau, a street singer in the 1950s who became a
millionaire and owner of the “Bagatelle” villa. They have succeeded
in creating a chic, gourmet yet relaxed restaurant that exalts
Mediterranean and Italian flavours, concocted by the chef Mathieu
Gourreau.

The two brothers have an impressive CV: managers of a trendy
Lyonnais brasserie, managers of the “Sol e Luna” in Saint-Tropez and
of the famous Cannes establishment “Le Bâoli”, followed by the
Majestic Beach. Today, their challenge is to offer the perfect evening:
quality produce, irreproachable service, continual self-reassessment,
clientele contact. You’ll love the raviolis stuffed with egg yolk and
summer truffle, flavoursome risottos, vitello tonnato and the desserts
by the pastry chef Mathieu Marchand, such as the divine “sphère de
chocolat Manjari”, and what’s more, since Spring of this year, an
adjacent café has been opened, specialising in cocktails and a
“raw bar” for great spirits and ultra fresh raw food prepared directly
before you at the central bar.

Within thirty years, Nicole Rubi has turned her “Petite Maison” into a
veritable institution in Nice, adored by the “who’s who” in the world
of showbiz and politics.
Now partnered with the famous chef Alain Ducasse, Nicole runs her
restaurant with a firm hand but warm heart, with her daughter Anne
Laure. Clients throng here to taste the very best in Mediterranean
specialties: courgette flower fritters, small violet artichoke salads, Mediterranean stuffed vegetables, truffle brouillade, locally caught red
mullet, lobster pasta, seafood salad… The produce is ultra fresh, and
servings are generous.
Nicole, the daughter of the charismatic César who created “L’Univers”
applies the magical recipe that has created the style of the place… an
unpretentious hospitality, a supercharged ambience created by the
waiters who both serve and dance, musicians who play at the tables
and famous people who are seated at the best tables: Elton John,
Jean-Paul Belmondo, Gérard Depardieu as well as Christian Estrosi,
and of course Nicole’s favourite, Nicolas Sarkozy, who even came
along with the Chinese President Hu Jintao… “La Petite Maison”
became a “big house” the day Charles Pasqua discovered and publicised it in 1991. Nicole is proud to promote Nice throughout the world,
particularly since her concept has produced offspring: at Hôtel
Fouquet's in Paris, Cannes, Dubaï, Beyrouth, London, Istanbul, and
recently in Miami.

Located in the Golden Triangle of Cannes since 2014, “Bobo Bistro”
delights Cannes inhabitants and tourists, families and friends. The
subtle decorative taste by Laurine, Patrice’s antique-dealer wife, is
welcoming and stylish. A few original pieces of furniture, gingham
table clothes, vintage crockery, attractive wall paper and oldfashioned photos make up the setting in which you’ll delight in tasting
the gourmet dishes concocted by the chef Fabrice Belissent who
proposes a menu that changes with the seasons and produce, organic whenever possible: flavoursome pizzas, quinoa salads, gambas
and citrus, Milan-style veal scallop, mashed potato, and a delicious
daube with raviolis. The success of the Bobo Bistro has now extended
to the newly opened “Sardine”, in a pedestrian street, providing a
more spacious terrace and the same friendly atmosphere. The menu
gives pride of place to locally-caught fish, shellfish, oysters, fish and
chips… and the charcoal cooked dishes have a delicious taste of
holidays! Can’t get enough of it!

Since 2011, the Courtade, Biancone and Cornac families have been
running the largest beach in Cannes, the Plage du Festival and have
created a real haven of tranquillity in the very heart of the bustling Croisette. This legendary beach, which belonged to the cinema advertising
pioneer Jean Mineur, is the oldest beach establishment of the town and
dates back to mid-19th century, to the days of the “Bains Bottin”.
For their beach, Brice Courtade, his mother Anny, his companion
Caroline and his brother-in-law Nicolas commissioned one of the most
famous urban architects to design the structure: Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
It is chic and comfortable, the furniture is in beige and white natural
wood, the bio-climatic pergola regulates the temperature. Uncluttered
and minimalist, it leaves space for clients to admire the spectacle of the
sea for an eternally gentle lifestyle.
At the helm is the chef François Vadala, a former chef at the Moulin de
Mougins and the Amandier in the Vergé days, while his wife Frédérique
excels as pastry chef. We adored the menu featuring seasonal produce,
renewed every fortnight, and his confit artichoke salad, asparagus and
Pata Negra, the delicious Asian salad with King crab, the Carnaroli
risotto, lobster and asparagus tips, the fabulous plancha-cooked
Gambas marinated in soja, the Black Angus burger or the famous 500 g
Simmental rib of beef. For desserts, you don’t know where to start: the
white chocolate craquant, fluted like profiteroles, or the seasonal fruit
minestrone…
The beach specialises in event organisation. Besides the evenings
created for prestigious brands during the film festival, the beach can
organise weddings and parties for your moment in paradise to remain
unforgettable.

He owns 4 establishments in Cannes: the famous “Gotha” Club, “L’Ecrin”
beach, “La Chunga” and “Casamia” restaurants and manages 300 staff,
but for the Cannois Patrick Tartary, this profession is more than ever a
“perpetual pleasure”. He has his eye on everything: the ambience in his
restaurants, the menus created by the chefs and above all the artistic
programme of the “Gotha”, open three months a year for 10 months
preparation work. Among his best memories, Prince’s dantesque and
unexpected after-show in 2010 after his concert at the Nikaïa. After
having greeted him at the door, the crowd of people, generally
desperate for “selfies” and hugs, remained at a distance to let him past,
proof of his extraordinary aura. Madonna, David Guetta, Justin Bieber…
The list of guests is vertiginous and faithful to Patrick Tartary, who
knows how to create the special ambience between his carefully-chosen
assistants and his clients, in this superb decor, sound and lights.
For “L’Ecrin”, Patrick managed to pick one of Cannes’ best beaches of
fine sand and absolute calm, away from prying eyes and facing the incredible panorama of the Lérins islands. For four years, he has also
owned the restaurant-bar-club that he has always dreamt of:
“La Chunga”, a legendary establishment on the Croisette which, since
opening in 1958, has welcomed the greatest cinema stars during the
Cannes Film Festival. With the help of the the interior decorator Samy
Chams, he has given it a facelift and with the chef Yiannis Kioroglou
created a delicious menu with Mediterranean accents. And finally,
“Casamia”, run by Mozart and Géraldine, is a festive Italian restaurant
with an original and cosy atmosphere: yet another success for which
only he knows the secret!

BORN NEAR PRAGUE, FRANTA CHOSE TO SETTLE ON THE RIVIERA,
IN VENCE WHERE HE HAS BEEN LIVING FOR THE LAST SIXTY YEARS AND PURSUING HIS CAREER AS A PAINTER AND SCULPTOR.
THIS SUMMER, TWO MAJOR EXHIBITIONS ARE PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE ARTIST.

Out in the countryside above Vence is Franta’s
workshop. Palette tables on which he incessantly mixes colours to find the right tone,
sketches, studies, drawings everywhere and
large canvasses, often retouched, enhanced,
altered…
“I start with acrylic, which dries quicker, to determine the construction of the picture. Then
comes the oil in several stages. Of course, originally there’s an idea but this idea has to be
built into a picture so the finished painting has
character”.
With reference to Matisse, Franta believes that
it is essential to be deeply perceptive, and
work and rework on the painting numerous

124 – RIVIERA MAGAZINE COLLECTOR 2017

times. After having taught at the School of
Fine Arts in Grenoble, he felt that “all too often
paintings lose their own words because of
scholarly speeches”.
Born in Trebíc , a little town near Prague,
Franta made his way to the West in 1958, before the Berlin wall was built, thanks to a trip
made to west Germany. “I followed a group of
construction painters who could go through to
work on sites… Once across, I asked for political asylum…”.
Quite a journey which was followed by others
in Africa. “I began on Gorée island in Senegal,
from there I decided to follow the slave route
to imagine what they had experienced.

My painting related man’s fight to survive…
Today, it’s the notion of exodus that I’m interested in”.
Fanta is a communicator of ideas who uses
lines and colours in a specific language to illustrate the human condition in all its torment,
contradictions, demands and universality.
“Above all, I’m interested in Man, and the relationship he has with his environment”.
It is impossible to look at Franta’s pictures without feeling the power of the people he met,
notably in Africa. Silhouettes whose outlines
blend with the landscapes from which emanates a sort of terrestrial force.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY WORKS BY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AVANT-GARDE
RUSSIAN PAINTERS WILL BE EXHIBITED AT LA MALMAISON ART CENTRE IN CANNES.
AN EXHIBITION THAT RETRACES A FASCINATING PICTORIAL JOURNEY.

The life of Paul Mansouroff was closely linked to that of the
Russian avant-garde movement of which he was one of
the protagonists, along with the artist Malevitch and sculptor Tatlin, before his exile in France in 1929. In Paris, his art
took a new turn thanks to his encounter with Sonia and
Robert Delaunay with whom he shared a studio. It was
while working with them he creates abstract motifs for
well-known Parisian couturiers.
Later, Paul Mansouroff settled in Nice where he lived from
1975 to 1983, the year of his death. It was on the Riviera
that his art was particularly prolific in geometric shapes
and new lines. The exhibition entitled “Paul Mansouroff ou
l’immensité du plaisir à peindre” exhibits over 150 works of
art, oils on wood and works on paper, from the Antonio
Capone collection. A display that retraces an exceptional
career at the core of French and International avantgarde…

to appear on stage, provides us with very intimate and touching images of these celebrities,
wavering between concentration, serenity
sometimes even apprehension. Here, with the
curiosity of a child, we discover what goes on
backstage. The photos have also given rise to
a book with the same title. Sixty or so famous
artists have shared these moments of truth
with the photographer and accepted to
immortalise them; they include Charlotte
Rampling, Marc Lavoine, Juliette Gréco, Fanny
Ardant and the late Claude Nougaro.
The temporary exhibition will be staged in the
heart of the Cannes Palace from 1st April to 30
June 2017.

“Above all, never learn by heart the names and
descriptions of the flowers in the VilmorinAndrieux colour catalogues”. These were the
words of Christian Dior. A leading couturier
who was also an exceptional perfumer and to
whom the Musée International de la Parfumerie
in Grasse is paying tribute this summer.
The exhibition highlights this delicate art that is
born from a miracle and which consists in crea-

ting original fragrances, some of which have become veritable legends. Such is the case for
Miss Dior, today celebrating its 70th anniversary,
a Grasse-made perfume to herald in the New
Look era. Indeed, for the very first Dior clothes
collection in 1947, a bewitching and mysterious
fragrance inundated no. 30, avenue Montaigne,
decorated with a carpet of flowers. Christian
Dior was launching Miss Dior, his first perfume.
Inspired by the Grasse countryside and created by Paul Vacher with a base of rose and
jasmine, Miss Dior represented a perfume
greatly superior to those of other perfume
houses, to exalt the impressive lengths of
fabric used for the confection of just one dress.
Other Dior perfumes went on to mark the 20th
century and continue to give a sweet scent to
the 21st. This exhibition takes us into this luxury
universe of refinement, while it also celebrates
the places frequented by the designer. Dior
chose Provence and its many wonderful gardens to find his inspiration. From Callian to
Montauroux, with the remarkable scents of the
Grasse countryside, is the home of perfumers.

“Les Lumières de l’Espoir”, is the well-chosen
title for Théo Tobiasse’s exhibition. A painter
who would have been 90 this year and who,
through his colourful works enhanced with
symbols and writing, has passed down a profoundly humanist message. The Riviera is
paying tribute to him, notably in the town of
Vallauris which, in the superb Magnelli Museum, the Ceramics museum, takes us on a
journey through his multifaceted universe.
Family, women, journeys even exoduses, eroticism, musicians are the themes which, throughout his long creative life, never ceased to
inspire in him emotive, generous characters full
of happiness or nostalgia.
Another side of the artist’s creativity can be
seen at La Maison des Quartiers which is exhibiting edition ceramics, created in the Gérard
Crociani workshop, based on original works by
Tobiasse. The public can also discover edition
ceramic techniques as well as those involved
in creating bronze pieces. Two exhibitions that
inspire hope and reverie.
Until 30th October.

EDuaRDO aRROYO
REsPECTs TRaDiTiONs aT MaEGHT
This summer, the figurative painter Eduardo arroyo
has made a sensational entry at the Maeght Foundation. This artist who takes an ironic stance on mythological or political scenes is considered one of the greatest spanish painters of his generation. He paints
humanity through a play on images that are taken
from society, history of art or literature. also a writer,
he uses fragmented narration with humour and a taste
for paradox. an extremely constructed pictorial work
that demonstrates constant artistic freedom. Eduardo
arroyo chose with particular care the title of the exhibition at the Maeght Foundation, “Dans le respect des
traditions”, a mix of the absurd and irony. until 17 November

BONNaRD aND VuiLLaRD,
a FECuND COMPLiCiTY aT LE CaNNET
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Pierre
Bonnard, the Museum in Le Cannet is paying tribute
to the painter by exhibiting, after the Musée d’Orsay,
an exceptional compilation of masterpieces from the
zeïneb & Jean-Pierre Marcie-Rivière collection, 19th
and 20th century philanthropists and art collectors.
Constituted with an admirable aesthetic and scientific
coherence over almost forty years by the MarcieRivière couple, this elegant collection which includes
paintings, drawings and pastels, bears witness to the
strong artistic bond between the two nabis painters.
superb! until 17 september

LiViNG aRCHiTECTuRE ON CaP MaRTiN
Reviving a magical site at the heart of which is Le
Corbusier’s Cabanon, and highlighting nearby architectural heritage. in the Hangar, the new concept cultural centre in the former Roquebrune Cap Martin
railway station, Cap Moderne has just inaugurated an
exhibition staged in partnership with the Pompidou
Centre, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this
year. Tribute is being paid to the genius irish designer
Eileen Gray, architect, designer, painter, photographer, whose works spanned the art Deco and
Modern Movements. an exhibition which dialogues
directly with Villa E-1027, built with Jean Badovici,
just metres from there. until 31st October

Joining the address in Geneva, the new De Jonckheere gallery welcomes
novices, art-lovers and discerning collectors to Avenue Princesse Grace,
at the heart of the Principality.
In-depth studies of works selected by De Jonckheere and the energy
deployed to unearth the finest pieces on the market have enabled the
gallery to establish its reputation and expertise in the field of Flemish
art. In parallel, a taste for modern art has gradually led the gallery to
extends its activities with the same unfailing commitment. The inaugural
exhibition entitled "Rencontre de Maîtres" consists of major works by
Old and Modern Masters. Compositions by followers and emulators of
painter Jérôme Bosch, including the Brueghel dynasty, Lucas Cranach
the Younger, Abel Grimmer, Jan Van Kessel, Herri Met de Bles, Frans
Snyders, Peter Snyers, Isaak Soreau, Adriaen Van Stalbempt, David
Teniers, Louis de Caullery, Francesco Guardi and Corneille de Lyon, take
their place alongside masterpieces by Modern Masters such as René
Magritte, Alexander Calder, Lucio Fontana, Jean Dubuffet, Nicolas de
Staël and Enrico Castellani. In the image of new generations of collectors, De Jonckheere adopts a progressive approach to history: that of
accompanying fans who are increasingly demanding in their search for
exceptional artworks.

DES CÉRAMIQUES D’EXCEPTION
SIGNÉES COCTEAU OU PICASSO
EXCEPTIONAL CERAMICS BY COCTEAU AND PICASSO
RARE AND EXCEPTIONAL PIECES.
IN FACT, THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE
AND REPRESENTATIVE COLLECTION
OF CERAMICS BY JEAN COCTEAU.
DIDIER CALVO, A PASSIONATE CANNES
GALLERIST HAS MANAGED TO
ASSEMBLE A UNIQUE COLLECTION
WORTHY OF ANY MUSEUM OR
PRESTIGIOUS PRIVATE COLLECTION.

A hundred or so vases and plates, astonishing
works, like the Grand-Chèvre-cou in pink clay
adorned with enamel, creations inspired by
Etruscan art. These works were presented in
the magical setting of the Villa Santo Sospir,
whose walls were entirely decorated by the
artist and feature in Jean Cocteau’s catalogue. One day, he confided this anecdote,
“Picasso told me that if I got into kiln-cooked
ceramics, I was lost. But I’ve always had a
delight in getting lost…”. The least we can say,
seeing these pieces, is that he was right.
However, among the most outstanding ceramics found by Didier Calvo are also works by

Picasso, such as the large vase with veiled
women, a very rare and superb piece. Here,
we see to what extent ceramic art was much
favoured by the masters of modern art.
Prima Gallery has managed over the years to
acquire an important clientele made up of
international institutions and private collectors
constantly searching for unique works of art.

In 1956, after having decorated the Saint-Pierre
chapel, Cocteau discovered yet more undiscovered paths; pottery, and notably the little clay
objects that his friend Picasso was working on.
He met the ceramist couple Madeline-Jolly in
Villefranche-sur-Mer and at the same time the
unbelievable joy of discovering a totally new
means of expression. With great humility he
entered the Madeline-Jolly atelier, accompanied as usual with the wealth of his mythological and fabulous universe.
And thus out of the Villefranche-sur-Mer atelier came painted plates, decorated vases, enamelled dishes all set with the magical aura of
Jean Cocteau. Superb pieces made by his own
hands, “hand work faithful to my spirit and
heart”, he would say.

richesse de son univers mythologique et
onirique.
Sortiront ainsi de l’atelier de Villefranche-sur-Mer
des assiettes peintes, des vases décorés, des
plats émaillés sertis de l’aura magique de Jean
Cocteau. Des pièces superbes issues de ses
mains, « fidèle main-d’œuvre au service de
mon esprit et de mon cœur », dira-t-il.
Cocteau, the genius jack-of-all-trades, never
ceased to astonish through the wealth and diversity of his works. Playwright, authors of essays, novels, poems… he wrote as much as he
draw. His graphic art is well-known throughout
the world and his considerable number of
works include lithography, engravings,
frescoes…

An elegant man and astute collector who
favours authenticity and human relations. Marc
Francl has opened a gallery that reflects his
character well. Passionate about antiques and
art, he searches high and low to find artists
from every walk of life who have real artistic
expression. Artists that enter into no mould,
who refuse to be labelled, and who propose
innovative works of art.
Yannick Fournié produces very colourful large
canvasses that are ultra-realist and very original. Fluctuating between street art and graffiti,
Miguel Paredes follows in the path of Pop Art.
Subtly playing with humour, he paints comic
strip-type pictures featuring cartoon icons. On
the other hand, Ikon prefers the explosive
Street Art. The Francl Gallery also proposes
very original design objects.

the Villa sauber. since 2009, Kasper akhøj has been
documenting the restoration works of the E-1027
villa, built in 1929 by the architect Eileen Gray in
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. in an adaptation of the original photos by Eileen Gray, Kasper akhøj presents
sixty shots that raise essential questions about
conserving and restoring a heritage site, which, on
several occasions, had been vandalised. The series of
photos, exhibited voluntarily in a non-chronological
order, take visitors through time. until 7 January

Fantasy and eclecticism weave a common
thread here enabling art enthusiasts to
discover an enthralling gallery in the heart of
Cannes.

aN aRTisaN OF PHOTOGRaPHY
Passionate about photography since a very young age, and after having worked with
many photographic studios and leading photographers, he opened his own studio in
2003. For ten years, he worked in italy for major clients in the fashion and events
industry. in parallel, he developed an artistic movement, “Noise art” which enabled him
to exhibit in several national shows where he won numerous prizes. For four years, he
has been in Cannes where he has created his own studio “atelier Photographique
Cannes”. He wishes to offer his experience both here, in Cannes, and everywhere in
Europe in different sectors: architecture, Events, Fashion, advertising… sectors where
his reliability and professionalism guarantee excellence in original shots and photographic techniques. He defines himself as “an artisan of photography” and often reverts
to film rolls whenever time and professional commitments permit. upcoming projects
include offering his experience in vision and knowledge of light exposure as
Photographic Director in a European produced feature film to take place this winter.

a close friendship and kindred affinities in their exploration of new territories in the world of art linked the
painter Georges Braque and cubist sculptor Henri
Laurens, both of whom made a mark on 20th century
history. The MusĂŠe de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;annonciade de saint-Tropez
has opened a new dialogue between the two artists
with its display of 67 works, on loan from national museums and prestigious collections.
The two artists incessantly explored space and rhythm
with the same desire to renew form and matter. This
exhibition highlights their original ways, parallel yet
different, to travel the paths of art.

a banal red chair floats on a blue rubber ringâ&#x20AC;Ś This is
just one of the works that illustrates the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Principles of

ChĂ˘teauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounds. The Espace de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Concret has
chosen the proposal of Ludovic Chemarin, to display
recreated pieces alongside new creations in the gardens. The artists Damien Beguet and P. Nicolas Ledoux
purchased the artwork and name of Ludovic Chemarin
when the latter decided, in 2005, to put an end to his
artistic career. since then, Ludovic Chermarin has
exhibited in France and abroad. until 17 september

I find the tranquillity I need for inspiration. For
sculpture, I work in my other studio in the
heart of the mountains, but still in the

One of my pieces, the dog Léon, currently presented in a group exhibition, has just won the
First International Sculpture Prize at the
Espace Miramar in Cannes. It’s in shiny polished aluminium but I also work with bronze.
Several exhibitions have been programmed
soon in Nice, Saint-Tropez and in Italy. I continue in my research in plastic art and look to
explore new paths to surprise collectors.
